Here's the Oddish that so many people have asked for. My girls love it so much, it took me two days to find her when I was finished, so that I could get pictures. The girls had her in the middle of their huge collection of stuffed things I've made for them, LOL.

I should also apologize for the picture, I can't seem to locate the good camera either, I know we put it somewhere, but as of now we can't find it. I'll try to get a better picture when we do though!

Do not chain 1 when turning. Be sure to work first stitches in the very last sc made in previous row. This is help to create a much smoother and more filled in edge to the leaves.

F/O leaving long tail. Weave tail down thru center of leaf to other end using yarn needle. If you want a pronounced vein down the center of the leaf, you can backstitch down the center of the leaf instead of weaving it.

FINAL ASSEMBLY:

Sew feet to bottom of body as shown. Sew leaves to top center of body in the order shown. 1 in front, 2 laying to either side immediately behind first leaf, 2 more standing and slightly leaning outwards behind the second two leaves. (see picture for better reference)

Cut two small circles and a mouth from red felt. See picture to help you with approximate sizes and shape for eyes and mouth. Glue or sew in place.

Thanks Melissa :) And I love Evee too... I'll eventually get around to them, I do these pokemon in between custom orders and other work pieces that help pay m'bills :) I use what yarns I have to make the pokemon, and that often determines which one I do next, by what colors I have on hand :D

Thank you so much for your generosity with your patterns. It's truly amazing not only that you come up with these but that you share them with the world. I appreciaate them so much! I am making several of your patterns for my hubby and son for Christmas, and I really love that I can make some things that are based off of what they love!

All of your pokemon are so great :) I'm just starting to learn how to crochet now and part of the reason is so that one day I can hopefully make some of these awesome pokemon dolls haha. Thank you so much for sharing the patterns for free; that's so nice of you :)

I LOVE your pokemon and mario patterns! They're so easy to make and accurate! Do you plan on making a charmeleon pattern anytime soon? Ever since I've made Squirtle, Mew, and Torchic, my friends are begging me for other pokemon :) Thanks again, you're an awesome crafter!

You can possibly use one size smaller crochet hook, to make the stitches tighter, or just crochet a bit closer than you normally would.

You can also add a small wire down the center (back) of the leaves. You might also make 10 leaves, and sew two together back to back to make a 'thicker' leaf that will stand up better.

In general it will largely depend on the type of yarn and hook size AND how tight or loose you crochet. Super Saver yarn is fairly stiff and dense (which is why I like it for making these dolls) and tends to produce a stiffer leaf.

Since everyone has a different tension when they crochet, and hooks tend to differ, and of course we all use whatever yarns are most readily available, sometimes you have to experiment a little with what you have to get things to work just the way you want :D

I don't specify whether or not to join rounds (unless there's a certain reason to do so). I leave that choice up to the crafter. Everyone has a preference as to whether or not they like to join rounds, or work in continuous rounds... and in most of these dolls it really doesn't matter which you do...so it's easiest for the crafter to make the decision based on what they're most comfortable doing :D

I'm glad to know that the method of working rounds makes no difference to the final piece - I don't like the seams made by joining, which is why I guess most Amigurumi is made in the continuous method.

I'm using the wrongest colour for little Oddish, but I really want to gift it to a friend. Hope she can recognise it in light blue :)

Right now, sleepy from all day crocheting and frogging but looking forward to trying another of your patterns, when done with this one.

This is too close to be a "look alike" of your pattern. It's pretty much identical to yours and she is selling them on Etsy. Just wanted to let you know hon, because i absolutely LOVE your patterns and have made several plush toys from them and i would like to continue to do so, but as I've seen in the past, when someone plagerizes a pattern as their own, the rest of us get punished with the pattern being taken down. I dont want that to happen because you are an amazing artist and once again i love your amigurumi patterns :)
